That's awful advice. It's something that feels right, but in reality only exaggerates the push-pull accordion effect of too fast, too heavy traffic.
- thorncorona 3y agoIt’s actually the law to go the speed of traffic.
- trgn 3y agoan awful law when the speed of traffic is too high for conditions.
- ttfkam 3y agoOne major gripe I have with driving in California is no clear traffic law requiring folks to move over when getting passed on the right. It's not the speed. It's the speed difference as cars end up weaving between lanes in traffic because slower vehicles sit in the passing lane(s).
